We need to watch out what we are saying in open forum here. FOUO. Just saying, watch out so people don't get in trouble.
There's nothing classified about the procedures for getting a clearance. Thanks for the warning, though.

Hi all,
I'm a college graduate researching for my possible career options, the Navy being one. I only have a green card now (and 3 years to go to become eligible to swear to be a US citizen), but I am considering enlisting in Navy Reserves to get my citizenship so I can apply to OCS. At any rate, it's been mentioned on this thread that one parent not being a US citizen is not a DQing factor, but what about the applicant being the only US citizen in the whole family? I've been physically present in the US (legally of course) since 01, but I just got my green card in Jan, 08. Can anyone answer this question? Oh... and my family is from/in South Korea if that makes any difference.
Thanks all in advance,
Chex
Question for webmaster or anyone else with knowledge of this
When listing foreign relatives, you mean any relatives period or any relatives you keep in contact with? I know of a few relatives out there, but I've probably seen them once in the past five years or so and have never maintained contact otherwise, so I was wondering if there were criteria if any there are for listing relatives
Few things are outright disqualifying, but it will definitely make getting your clearance more difficult & time consuming. FWIW, I've now had two Intel officers (both with TS/SCI clearances) who were 1st generation immigrants from Asia. Do what you can to get your US citizenship, then the rest will take care of itself - in time.

It's probably better to disclose everything now than to leave things off. They'll probably think you are hiding something if you do.
I have two relatives with connections to the IRA and I still got my clearance. I had to answer a ton of questions about them, but it turned out alright.
